There are two communication scheme that have been enabled to communicate
with Secure Proxy in TI.
a) A full fledged prioritized communication scheme, which involves upto
5 threads from the perspective of the host software
b) A much simpler "lite" version which is just a two thread scheme
involving just a transmit and receive thread scheme.
The (a) system is specifically useful when the SoC is massive
involving multiple processor systems and where the potential for
priority inversion is clearly a system usecase killer. However, this
comes with the baggage of significant die area for larger number of
instances of secure proxy, ring accelerator and backing memories
for queued messages. Example SoCs using this scheme would be:
AM654[1], J721E[2], J7200[3] etc.
The (b) scheme(aka the lite scheme) is introduced on smaller SoCs
where memory and area concerns are paramount. The tradeoff of
priority loss is acceptable given the reduced number of processors
communicating with the central system controller. This brings about
a very significant area and memory usage savings while the loss of
communication priority has no demonstrable impact. Example SoC using
this scheme would be: AM642[4]
While we can detect using JTAG ID and conceptually handle things
dynamically, adding such a scheme involves a lot of unused data (cost
of ATF memory footprint), pointer lookups (performance cost) and still
due to follow on patches, does'nt negate the need for a different
build configuration. However, (a) and (b) family of SoCs share the
same scheme and addresses etc, this helps minimize our churn quite a
bit
Instead of introducing a complex data structure lookup scheme, lets
keep things simple by first introducing the pieces necessary for an
alternate communication scheme, then introduce a second platform
representing the "lite" family of K3 processors.
NOTE: This is only possible since ATF uses just two (secure) threads
for actual communication with the central system controller. This is
sufficient for the function that ATF uses.
The (a) scheme and the (b) scheme also varies w.r.t the base addresses
used, even though the memory window assigned for them have remained
consistent. We introduce the delta as part of this change as well.
This is expected to remain consistent as a standard in TI SoCs.

ARM's generic timer[1] picks up it's graycode from GTC. However, the
frequency of the GTC is supposed to be programmed in CNTFID0[2]
register.
In K3, architecture, GTC provides a central time to many parts of the
SoC including graycode to the generic timer in the ARMv8 subsystem.
However, due to the central nature and the need to enable the counter
early in the boot process, the R5 based bootloader enables GTC and
programs it's frequency based on central needs of the system. This
may not be a constant 200MHz based on the system. The bootloader is
supposed to program the FID0 register with the correct frequency it
has sourced for GTC from the central system controller, and TF-A is
supposed to use that as the frequency for it's local timer.
A mismatch in programmed frequency and what we program for generic
timer will, as we can imagine, all kind of weird mayhem.
So, check the CNTFID0 register, if it is 0, warn and use the default
frequency to continue the boot process.
While at it, we can also check CNTCR register to provide some basic
diagnostics to make sure that we don't have OS folks scratch their
heads. Even though this is used during cpu online operations, the cost
of this additional check is minimal enough for us not to use #ifdeffery
with DEBUG flags.

Valid addresses for GICR base are always a set calculable distance from
the GICD and is based on the number of cores a given instance of GICv3 IP
can support. The formula for the number of address bits is given by the
ARM GIC-500 TRM section 3.2 as 2^(18+log2(cores)) with the MSB set to
one for GICR instances. Holes in the GIC address space are also
guaranteed to safely return 0 on reads. This allows us to support runtime
detection of the GICR base address by starting from GIC base address plus
BIT(18) and walking until the GICR ID register (IIDR) is detected. We
stop searching after BIT(20) to prevent searching out into space if
something goes wrong. This can be extended out if we ever have a device
with 16 or more cores.

To accommodate scenarios where we want to use a UART baud rate other than
the default 115,200 allow the associated compiler definition to be set
via the K3_USART_BAUD build option by updating the platform make file.
Since the platform make file now also contains the default value (still
115,200), go ahead and remove the redundant definition from the platform
header file.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

All identifiers, regardless of use, that start with two underscores are
reserved. This means they can't be used in header guards.
The style that this project is now to use the full name of the file in
capital letters followed by 'H'. For example, for a file called
"uart_example.h", the header guard is UART_EXAMPLE_H.
The exceptions are files that are imported from other projects:
- CryptoCell driver
- dt-bindings folders
- zlib headers

The K3 family of SoCs has multiple interconnects. The key interconnect
for high performance processors is the MSMC3 interconnect. This is
an io-coherent interconnect which exports multiple ports for each
processor cluster.
Sometimes, port 0 of the MSMC may not have an ARM cluster OR is isolated
such that the instance of ATF does not manage it. Define macros
in platform_def.h to help handle this.
